Hurry, ends soon!Lets talk about the wild part first.FOX NEWS AI NEWSLETTER: SCAMMERS CAN EXPLOIT YOUR DATA FROM JUST 1 CHATGPT SEARCHYou dont need any editing software. You dont need a green screen. Heck, you dont even need a camera. Your keyboard is now the director, the producer, the editor, and your creative partner. All you have to do is type what you want to see, and boom, AI turns your words into high-def, studio-quality video clips. Its like having a Hollywood studio tucked inside your laptop.Two of the biggest names in this space right now are Sora from OpenAI and Veo from Google. And yes, you can actually try them both right now. Ive tested them side by side, and you can watch my results at the end to see which one came out on top.Sora is built right into ChatGPT and is shockingly good. Type something simple like, "a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball," and within seconds, Sora delivers a smooth, visually rich video clip. No stock footage. No need to mess with editing timelines or export settings. Just write what you want to see.Heres the breakdown:And heres a hot tip: Microsoft just announced that Sora is being integrated into their new Bing Video Creator, so youll start seeing it pop up in more places soon.FEDERAL AI POWER GRAB COULD END STATE PROTECTIONS FOR KIDS AND WORKERSNow over toGoogles Veo, and wow, this one is aiming for cinematic quality. Veo gives you up to 60-second videos in 1080p, and the realism is something else. You can include camera moves, lighting shifts, and smooth transitions, just by typing a sentence. For example: "A cat runs across a Paris rooftop at sunset." And it delivers exactly that, complete with lens flares and realistic shadows.To get your hands on Veo, youll need to sign up for Googles Gemini plans:I wanted to see how each platform handled the same prompt, so I asked both to generate a video based on: "Show me a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball."Now you canwatch the videos side-by-side. My AI puppy Bella stars in both (Veos on the left, Soras on the right).My thoughts? Sora nailed the adorable close-up details, Bellas floppy ears, the texture of the fur, the light hitting the waves. But it fumbled a bit when it came to physics. The balls bounce didnt feel quite right. On the other hand, Veo did a better job with the action. The puppys movements were more lifelike but it wasnt as sharp on the visual details.We are entering a new age of video creation where your ideas are enough. No gear, no crew, no edits. Just imagination and a little typing. Whether youre a marketer, content creator, educator, or just someone who likes to experiment, this is the future of storytelling.Trust me, its just getting started.Award-winning host Kim Komando is your secret weapon for navigating tech.Copyright 2025, WestStar Multimedia Entertainment.
